Debbie- thanks again for posting this, we are getting requests and interest in the READ image. We have updated it with more translations and continue to gather them. The more exposure this gets, the more translations we may find, so thank you for putting it out there on the blogosphere :-)

Here is a link to the most recent version, which you can always print for free...http://www.tulsalibrary.org/maxwellpark/MX_read-translation_08.pdf

And here is a link to our Cafe Press store where you can purchase posters, t shirts, etc.

First Peoples listed AICL as one of the Top Five Native Blogs and Podcast to follow. School Library Journal's Elizabeth Burns featured AICL as her Blog of the Day on July 2, 2007, and in 2007, the ALA's Association for Library Service to Children invited Debbie to write a blog post for their site.

American Indian? Or, Native American? There is no agreement among Native peoples. Both are used. It is best to be specific. Example: Instead of "Debbie Reese, a Native American," say "Debbie Reese, a Nambe Pueblo Indian woman."
